In 2023, 86% of students we worked with exceeded Kindergarten Readiness targets for reading and 89% exceeded for math.

All Children Ready is an initiative of Improving Education focused on significantly increasing literacy achievement in Head Start, and Preschool while developing scalable practices that can be used at locations across the city, state, and nation to improve Kindergarten Readiness outcomes.

This work utilizes a team approach to partner with Head Start centers and organizations to fundamentally redesign the system of instruction and support for children. We work collaboratively to:

• Understand the existing system and current performance while setting an aim for improvement.

• Engage in designing changes that could improve outcomes while using a Continuous Improvement model and measuring progress toward the aim.

• Test, catalog, and measure successful changes using a Plan–Do–Study-Act (PDSA) cycle while working to create a system that can sustain continuous improvement in outcomes for students.

The collective goal of this work is to achieve 80% - 100% of students prepared for Kindergarten by “demonstrating” readiness on the mathematics and language and literacy domains of the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA).
